Cobb Meeting to Hear Expert on Major Flaws in GA Electoral System

(Excerpts) A federal lawsuit accuses Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, currently running as the Republican candidate for governor, of failing to secure his state’s voting system and allowing a massive breach that exposed voter records and other sensitive election information.

“The suit describes how a private researcher discovered the records of more than 6 million registered Georgia voters, password files and encryption keys could be accessed online by anyone looking.”

(Excerpts) Election security observers and activists in Georgia say the situation in state Rep. Dan Gasaway’s district adds to growing concerns about the integrity of the state’s voting system and spotlights the way discrepancies in voter data can potentially affect election results.
